JIMBO59 · 08-19-2006, 03:20 AM

Yep Cal She Needed New Pans,tranny Cover, Rear Cab Corners,and R/s Cab Outer Pillar Pocket.oh And A New Radio Dash Piece Since Some Knucklehead Before Me Cut The Dash For A Larger Radio. No Appreciation For Old Iron. Dealth With A Guy In Ohio. Ccg Truck Was The Name.good Stuff,heavy Guage Steel, 20 Ga. I Think. What Do You Recommend For A Tranny. Some I Talk To Say 700r4 Others Swear By The 350 Turbo??? I Want To Put A 350 4 Bolt Main Motor In It.

CAL 58 GMC · 08-19-2006, 04:24 PM

The 700r is a great trans if you’re looking to make her to be a daily drive, as long as you get one with all the latest updates. The TH350 is a stronger, more reliable trans according to a few trans shops I talked to. That's why I went with the 350TH for that reason. But, in saying that, everyone has their option of good and bad with both.

That cab looks really good Jimbo! Great job man, you are making this look easy!!

thebeemanone · 08-20-2006, 05:18 PM

Welcome aboard.

Well mine was white when I got it home, found baby blue and orange under it.
Will be a dark blue if I ever get it done.

Keep on trucking

texascowboy593 · 08-20-2006, 07:48 PM

Its looking good Jimbo!

JIMBO59 · 08-22-2006, 09:40 PM

Thanks Guys For All The Kind Words. Question: Where Do You Buy Por-15 . The Powdercoat Guy Called Today Wanting 425.00 To Do My Frame. Kind Of Expensive For A Non-show Truck.heard Lots Of Good Things About Por-15. Does It Look Good On Frames. Can You See Brush Strokes Or Bush Lines When Its Dried.thanks For Any Info.

CAL 58 GMC · 08-22-2006, 11:19 PM

I paid $450 for my frame powder coated and that was a good deal. $425 sound like a great price to me. Keep in mind, that your frame will be completely media blasted so all the grime, rust & old paint will be removed. Also powder coating is tough stuff and will last many years! I know you won’t regret it if you do the powder coating. Just my opinion Jimbo.

JIMBO59 · 08-23-2006, 11:06 AM

Thanks Cal, I Am Going To Shop Around For A Better Price. I Was Hoping To Get It Done For 300.00. Sigh, The Price Of Things Is Getting Outrageous.

JIMBO59 · 11-30-2006, 01:23 AM

Just Picked Up A 58 Apache For 600.00 To Part Out. Looked Under The Hood When I Got Home Figuring To See Another 235 Straight Six. But Lo And Behold There Was The Big Block In It. Yee-hah Yes, A 430 Big Block Buick Motor (bastard Chevy) And 400 Turbo Transmission And Its Complete. So I Am Pulling It This Weekend To Start Ripping It Down. I`m So Happy, Oh So Happy

Igotachevyor2 · 11-30-2006, 07:50 AM

texascowboy593 · 11-30-2006, 10:44 AM
